How YOU doin’?: Trish from Yonkers

Reentry Reframed

Pointing out one memento from a friend, she said, “He calls me CAPY: Catholic Alcoholic Patricia from Yonkers.” As Trish walked me around her apartment, her excitement was palpable! As she explained, this is the first time she has lived on her own this century. At nearly 70-years-old, Trish’s life has been full of twists and turns, highs and lows, to be where she is at today. Deep in her addiction, many of her picture albums were lost in the early 2000s. With the pictures she has been able to collect in the past decade, it is clear Trish’s heart belongs to the ocean and to her family. There are shells and ocean treasures in every nook and cranny in her home she has worked incredibly hard for. With more than a decade of sobriety, Trish is now able to relish in the moment from the simple joys in life. We wish you nothing but the best, Trish!
